When it comes to mother son wedding songs or father daughter wedding songs, that is, songs which the parent and child dance to together, one needs to ascertain that these songs are not “squicky” (completely inappropriate for a parent and child dance). In order to make sure that this is not the case, go for song lyrics which just profess love, respect and pride for each other and nothing creepy like “nothing pulling the two of you apart”. Stick to classy, proper lyrics. Whereas the first dance may not always last for the entire song, parent child dances do as they are usually the last dances in the programme and hold a lot of emotional heft, especially the bride's dance with the father of the bride.

It is for all these reasons that the importance of a wedding song should not be undervalued in the least. Here's wishing you a wonderful wedding dance.
